Supported Sentence Writing Worksheets for 1st Grade

Help your first grade students learn to write sentences with these supportive activities! These no-prep sentence writing worksheets are great for all students who are learning to write complete sentences, and they’re especially helpful for English language learners and students with special needs.

These 50 worksheets are carefully designed to gradually release responsibility to students so that they learn how to write strong sentences on their own. One sentence structure is repeated on each page, so that students internalize the structure and can use it independently in the future.

On each page, students:

1. Trace a sentence.
2. Fill in words for similar sentences, using the same sentence structure.
3. Write an original sentence that follows the example.

Simple words are used on the worksheets, so that students can learn to complete the activities independently without needing to read challenging words!
